What are Organic Photovoltaics (OPV)? Organic photovoltaics (OPV) are a class of solar cells that utilize organic materials, such as polymers and small molecules, to convert sunlight into electricity.

A new design principle has been identified that could eliminate the use of toxic chemicals in solar cell manufacturing. The standard manufacturing process of organic cells involves toxic solvents.

Researchers from Linköping University have developed a new design principle that makes the large-scale production of highly efficient, environmentally friendly organic solar cells possible.
